   No, thanx, no filter. The same reason I don't want to run cpp on
   my app-defaults and other resource files. As I am using Xrm to
   define the entire application (WsXc, Wcl/Mri...), I want the file
   to be edited, and loaded without any further steps.
   Note, I am talking files with several hundreds of lines (equivalent
   of UIL or C code of several thousands of lines).
   I just want to make my files more readable, smaller in size and
   faster processed (though the last one is the least important).
